Translation of Verse 31-40

31. Losers indeed are those who deny the meeting with Allah until the Hour takes them by surprise, then they will cry, "Woe to us for having ignored this!" They will bear ˹the burden of˺ their sins on their backs. Evil indeed is their burden!

32. This worldly life is no more than play and amusement, but far better is the ˹eternal˺ Home of the Hereafter for those mindful ˹of Allah˺. Will you not then understand?

33. We certainly know that what they say grieves you ˹O Prophet˺. It is not your honesty they question-it is Allah's signs that the wrongdoers deny.

34. Indeed, messengers before you were rejected but patiently endured rejection and persecution until Our help came to them. And Allah's promise ˹to help˺ is never broken. And you have already received some of the narratives of these messengers.

35. If you find their denial unbearable, then build-if you can-a tunnel through the earth or stairs to the sky to bring them a ˹more compelling˺ sign. Had Allah so willed, He could have guided them all. So do not be one of those ignorant ˹of this fact˺.

36. Only the attentive will respond ˹to your call˺. As for the dead, Allah will raise them up, then to Him they will ˹all˺ be returned.

37. They ask, "Why has no ˹other˺ sign been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Allah certainly has the power to send down a sign"-though most of them do not know.

38. All living beings roaming the earth and winged birds soaring in the sky are communities like yourselves. 273 We have left nothing out of the Record. 274 Then to their Lord they will be gathered all together.

39. Those who deny Our signs are ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb-lost in darkness. Allah leaves whoever He wills to stray and guides whoever He wills to the Straight Way.

40. Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, "Imagine if you were overwhelmed by Allah's torment or the Hour-would you call upon any other than Allah ˹for help˺? ˹Answer me˺ if your claims are true!


Commentary

273. Allah has created living beings (like animals, birds, and fish) just like He created human beings. He provides for all and is merciful to all. They all belong to communities and have their own systems of living.

274. The Record refers to the Preserved Tablet ( Al-Lawḥ Al-Maḥfûẓ ) in which Allah has written the destiny of His entire creation.
